once upon a time there were three races called Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid.
in this post i will only address Negroid and a subset of Caucasian named native-american which a few tens of thousand years ago were likely mongoloid or a mongoloid/caucasian mix...ask the anthropologsts or people that seem to care, in any case from northern asia via the bering land bridge/strait that settled from alaska to the southern tip of chile
in my lifetime the polite or PC term for Negroid in this nation changed from colored to negro to black to african-american
remember that the NAACP stands for the national association for the advancement of colored people (meaning all people of color not just african-americans)
personally, i am one of a few (or at least a distinct minority) americans who are among those considered native-americans but should be referred to as the original immigrants, there are no native americans to the best of my knowledge but this may change,, who knows
but, how about this, are we not all american citizens loyal to our nation (well most of us that is), except for non-citizens like legal and illegal immigrants...like you johny come lately europeans and africans...
theoretically, except for those born here, a lot of us are immigrants
for those that insist on being called *-american, i say go back to where you or your ancestors were born or shut up and call yourself americans or u s of american(s)
while most a-a's were imported/enslaved and bred for certain traits, most of my ancestors were hunted down and killed and/or put on reservations to be neglected and left to rot (my ancestors were from the Colville reservation and europe, my father from Colville and mother european parents, but both were born in the u s of a)...
